Dragon Raja: Dragon Slaying Begins with System Hosting

Page 206

Lu Mingfei nodded: "Yes, of course I've heard of adults arranging marriages between two children when they are very, very young."

Su Enxi nodded upon hearing his explanation, then said with a serious expression, "I'm here to tell you something, Boss Lu: you actually have a childhood betrothal."

Lu Mingfei didn't seem too surprised and asked directly, "Who? You? Or Mai Shude? Or Zero? It can't be all of them, right?"

"Damn, Boss Lu, you've got some serious ambition. You want it all. Can you even handle it all?" Su Enxi chuckled.

Lu Mingfei's expression showed that the boss had indeed arranged a way out for them; it was just a matter of Lu Mingfei's conscience...

The moment to test the brotherhood between the boss and Lu Mingfei has arrived! At the very least, if you two brothers are fighting amongst yourselves, don't drag the three of us weak and helpless girls into it...

Thinking of this, Su Enxi stopped rambling and said, "I won't hide it from you anymore, our boss has disappeared."

"Hmm." Lu Mingfei nodded. "I just received a letter from your boss asking me to take good care of you. What's your current situation? How did you end up needing my help to take care of you?"

Upon hearing his admission, Su Enxi immediately retorted with a hint of sarcasm, "Our current situation is neither good nor bad, all because of your previous generous financial support to Boss Lu!"

Lu Mingfei said, "Because they've been getting too close to me, they've attracted a lot of attention?"

"What else?!" Su Enxi said pitifully, "We've fallen to this state because of helping you, Boss Lu. Boss Lu, the moment to test our friendship has arrived. You mustn't let me down."

"Hmm." Lu Mingfei didn't cause any trouble, but simply nodded. "Did your boss say anything to you? Like, what were his last wishes or something?"

"No." Su Enxi shook her head decisively and said, "He told us directly that he was going offline, and that we shouldn't call his name for no reason anymore, it's useless..."

Lu Mingfei seemed somewhat surprised by this: "So it really is just one-way communication between you two?"

"Hmm." Su Enxi nodded, then said pitifully, "I never lied to you before, Boss Lu. We were all sincere and cooperated with you out of friendship. As for those things that pushed you into the fire, that was all your idea. Please don't make things difficult for us lowly employees."

"Hmm..." Lu Mingfei scrutinized the three of them with an unabashed gaze.

It wasn't some evil thought about three beautiful women falling into his hands and being at his mercy—just like the system said, now that disaster is imminent, why would he still have the mind to think about those women?

After all, he's not really going to die, so he's thinking of having some fun before he dies... He can still be saved, so there's no need to think about indulging in something like that before he dies.

He was thinking about how to extract more information from Su Enxi and the others. As Lu Mingze's confidantes, they must know a lot. By extracting these things, he could open up gaps in various unknown information.

That would be wonderful.

Su Enxi looked even more pitiful. "Boss Lu, have you picked up some bad Japanese customs with your eyes?"

"So, are you going to go?" Lu Mingfei asked instinctively.

However, before Su Enxi could speak, he immediately added, "But you might be overthinking it. What I'm more concerned about now is whether Lu Mingze told you anything before? Now, you can tell me everything you know."

Let's get down to business first, and we can deal with the rest later.

Just because this matter is more important doesn't mean other matters aren't. We can prioritize them, address the most important issues first, and then tackle the less important ones...

"Um... we actually know very little. The main thing is that we want to make you, Mr. Lu, the king of the new era."

"King of the World???" Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment. "When did this happen?"

When Lu Mingze first appeared, he asked Lu Mingze to grant him the title of King of the World.

Since you've already made a wish, why not make it bigger?

Unlike some people who completely disregard their own circumstances and try to find a partner who wants both things at once, making it seem like they're making a wish, but whose wish is rather shallow, resulting in something that's neither fish nor fowl.

“A long time ago,” Su Enxi said. “It’s not something we found out in the last two years. We just didn’t deliberately come to this small city to get close to you back then. We mainly learned about you through information from Kassel College.”

“Kassel College…” Lu Mingfei pondered for a moment.

He could understand the complexity of Kassel College. If it weren't for the fact that Kassel College had been carrying the banner of dragon slaying for over a thousand years, which seemed really strange, he guessed the system would have already taken strong action.

“Kassel College has been paying close attention to you from the very beginning. Throughout your journey, many people around you have been their informants,” Su Enxi said. “They are extremely familiar with your information, and I, by intercepting their information, have also become extremely familiar with you. Originally, the plan was to begin after you, Boss Lu, were about to go to university, but because you suddenly started acting strangely…”

“Mm.” Lu Mingfei nodded.

Because he was able to survive through the system, he came into contact with the world of dragons. Considering his ordinary life so far, this was undoubtedly a deviation from the right path.

Especially after he derailed, he immediately started speeding all the way.

However, Lu Mingfei, borrowing the system's evaluation, simply said... "Worse!"

These guys are really too weak. They don't have the absolute power to control his life, and they can't even tolerate the variable of him becoming powerful with the system.

Interesting… Lu Mingfei glanced at the system, which was analyzing details—for example, why his first boss was the White King?

"Why are you planning to attack Kassel College recently?"

"Kassel College has the Dragon King backing it up."

"That makes sense, so what?"

"That's all." Su Enxi shook her head and said, "The Dragon King's problem is already very serious, especially considering that he has a dragon body that has been developing for who knows how many years. Unlike you, Boss Lu, who has cheated, the Dragon King dealing with us human hybrids is probably as easy as a human dealing with a dog. Even the largest type of dog can't withstand a 7.62mm bullet!"

Lu Mingfei suddenly asked, "Have I entered the final training stage?"

They're about to take on the Dragon King behind Kassel College, which has been developing for who knows how many years. Isn't that the ultimate test of their strength?

"Perhaps... I don't know the truth." Su Enxi shook her head.

Theoretically speaking, Lu Mingfei still has a dragon king to deal with, but dealing with the dragon king of Kassel College is not something that can be done all at once. Perhaps the boss's plan is to take action against Xia Mi and her brother along the way?

Lu Mingfei shook his head repeatedly: "It's not that I don't know, but that you're unwilling to tell me the whole truth. You must know a lot more, but Lu Mingze won't let you tell me."

"With Lu Mingze's strength, he sees you ordinary mixed-race people as ants. But he specifically asked me to take care of you, so the value you represent in the united front will increase infinitely, especially when he needs you to help him with some things, your value will rise even higher."

"Hehe... Boss Lu is incredibly smart." Su Enxi laughed awkwardly.

This was something that couldn't be hidden from Lu Mingfei, after all, he wasn't stupid. He could even use his words to manipulate her Heavenly Evolution and easily detect the anomalies with a simple calculation.

"So, you still can't talk about those things?" Lu Mingfei felt as lonely as snow.

He didn't even glance at the system analysis after saying those words; instead, he subconsciously thought of this matter.

"I really can't say it, but our boss values ​​you, Boss Lu, even more than himself. Once many of our plans are revealed, they will change your fate, Boss Lu."

"This kind of teaching method is really disgusting. I've already guessed the outcome, but I still can't figure it out." Lu Mingfei pouted.

If only I had enough strength, I could break free from Lu Mingze's protection and directly say no to this kind of education method that's supposedly for your own good.

Su Enxi said awkwardly, "This is the boss's business. We are just little maids and really have no right to make decisions."

If Lu Mingze really goes offline, they absolutely won't be able to withstand the pressure from Lu Mingfei. If Lu Mingfei has even the slightest other thought, they'll be like lambs to the slaughter, completely powerless to resist. In fact, he'll only find them cute and amusing...

However, Lu Mingfei directly asked, "What is Xia Mi's identity? Is he the King of Earth and Mountains or the King of Ocean and Water? He can't be another King of Sky and Wind, can he?"

Many answers are already obvious, because all the wrong options have been eliminated, and the remaining one, no matter how impossible, is inevitable.

Xia Mi was his mentor, helping him to understand the world of dragons. She was his first subordinate... She played a significant role, but it seems she also has some problems.

Just like ancient emperors, the more capable their subordinates are, the more wary the emperor will become, unless the emperor is completely foolish.

Chapter 237 Exposed

The relationship between Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi is certainly not that extreme, but all the wrong options have been eliminated, and the remaining one is not the correct one. Is it just wishful thinking?

We can't say we excluded the wrong person, can we?

Okay, even if we've ruled out the wrong person, it's still worth using them to trick Su Enxi. Just by talking, we can reveal a huge piece of news, which would be a huge win!

And indeed, just as the system analyzed, they really made a fortune. When Su Enxi heard this, her pupils suddenly contracted, and her body froze for a moment.

The other two women also froze, completely unprepared for Lu Mingfei's sudden remark.

"Looks like I guessed right." Lu Mingfei smiled and asked, "Why do you say Xia Mi is harmless to me? Although it would be very easy for her to harm me; she had countless opportunities to stab me in the back. But there must be a reason why she chose to endure it, right?"

"It's a scam..." Su Enxi finally came to her senses.

It's impossible to say that the three of them have no acting skills, but if Lu Mingfei hadn't asked so decisively and precisely, and if his eyes hadn't been so sharp, they probably would have gotten away with it.

In just a moment, they could adjust their state, but it was this momentary flaw that successfully exposed them.

"It's just a guess, but I can't say it's absolutely accurate. After all, although Xia Mi's performance was outstanding, it didn't reach the point of being directly exposed. After eliminating most of the wrong options, he's the only one left. It's not a loss to use him to bluff you."

Lu Mingfei smiled and said, "Especially after confirming that your boss is that little devil Lu Mingze, the last bit of doubt about you has been cleared away. Plus, the little devil has already gone offline, so I'm using him to blackmail you a bit."

"You've got something," Su Enxi nodded. "No wonder you're Boss Lu."

"It's just a normal tactic, but you guys are really too easily scared." Lu Mingfei waved his hand casually, as if he had only done something insignificant.

Su Enxi shook her head: "There's nothing we can do about it. Acting to that extent means you can't even be called human anymore. Unless you have a plan in mind, when faced with an unexpected situation and knowing the specifics, even the most stable person will inevitably show some subtle changes in their expression."

When President George W. Bush was accompanying children in a kindergarten class, his aide informed him that terrorist airliners were planning to crash into the World Trade Center towers, and he experienced a brief moment of confusion and helplessness.

He was clearly bewildered, because the news was so shocking that he didn't know what to do for a moment.

It's often said that the world's best actors are active in politics, and to become president, one's acting skills must be unparalleled. Yet even such a president, with unparalleled acting skills, was still stunned by the shock of the 9/11 attacks...

"So, why is Xia Mi harmless to me?" Lu Mingfei reiterated his question from earlier.

“That’s a bit complicated.”

“Then let’s take our time. I have the time now, we can chat for three days and three nights without any problem.” When Lu Mingfei said this, he even made a gesture of invitation and personally poured tea and water for them, asking them to sit down and talk about Xia Mi at their leisure.

"Won't the walls have ears?" Su Enxi said. "Now that we no longer have the boss's protection, it wouldn't be difficult for a dragon king to eavesdrop on you or us."

Lu Mingfei shook his head: "Xia Mi is currently in the lab with the twins of the Bronze and Fire Kings. She doesn't dare to make any rash moves."

"Being with the twins of the King of Bronze and Fire? That's fine, there shouldn't be any problems." Su Enxi said, "As for why Xia Mi is harmless to you, Boss Lu, I don't actually know the answer, and I don't even know the slightest reason."

As she said this, she looked at Lu Mingfei with sincere eyes, and their eyes met.

She was unwilling to say, or perhaps she genuinely didn't know, but that didn't stop Lu Mingfei from starting to guess. He muttered to himself, "Could it be because she has some kind of connection with me? Or is it because her strength is simply too weak?"

"All I know is that our boss seems to look down on Xia Mi."

At this moment, Mai Shude spoke up: "When we first learned that Xia Mi was the Dragon King, we were quite shocked. After all, it felt like our boss was playing with fire to be so close to you, Boss Lu. But our boss just smiled contemptuously, his expression and tone full of disdain for Xia Mi, as if he was extremely confident that Xia Mi would not cause you any harm."

"Lu Mingze actually looks down on Xia Mi..." Lu Mingfei found it very interesting... what a load of rubbish!

Lu Mingze is capable; he believes he can control the overall situation and even reverse the situation in case of unexpected circumstances. That's why he chooses to underestimate Xia Mi, who has special circumstances.

But now Lu Mingze has disappeared to some corner to sleep. What if Xia Mi suddenly wants to attack him?

What if Xia Mi suddenly shoved both hands into my waistband? Could I withstand that with my current abilities? Not at all. Constantine said that the weakest dragon king was Jormungandr, the king of earth and mountains, but even the weakest Jormungandr was not a dragon that could be viewed in the usual way.

Zero suddenly asked, "Don't you trust Xia Mi?"

"How can I trust her?" Lu Mingfei asked instinctively. "If I had the ability to maintain balance, then I could choose to trust her a little. If I had the power to absolutely suppress the Dragon King, then I could choose to trust her. But the problem is, I have neither. Trusting her is like handing my life over to her. This..."

He paused abruptly and didn't continue—is it reasonable to entrust one's life to someone else?

Theoretically speaking, it's incredibly unreasonable, but in reality, there are countless such unreasonable things happening, with people willingly or unwillingly handing over their lives to others under various circumstances.
